Chapter 729 Plan A
According to the screenwriters, Padana has its meaning. The river running through Italy all year round symbolizes the never-ending gray chain in the entertainment circle.

Gan Jing couldn't keep up with the brain circuit of the screenwriters, but he didn't have much objection to the name. After deciding on the name, this group of people repeatedly wanted to give it more meaning.

"Hey, hurry up and finish writing the script, how much did you write today?"

"Just write, just write."

"Make a plan, can it be five o'clock today?"

"Do your best, try your best."

Gan Jing let it go, he believed that if he didn't rush, Paramount would make these screenwriters scratch their heads.

After two days, the script has not come out yet, but the director has been recommended, Gianfranco Rossi from Italy—this Italian has worked as a director, screenwriter, photographer, and producer, and graduated from New York University film school, his current work is almost exclusively documentary.

Paramount thought that since the filming was in Italy and the gray chain of the entertainment industry was applied there, then Rossi was more appropriate.

Gan Jing agreed.

However, because of the background of the director, he thought of Yang Aiyan, who was newly recruited to record Peking Opera materials. Rossi was born in documentary filming, so it was a good trip for Yang Aiyan to learn from the group.

Gan Jing passed on this idea to the company and asked Yang Aiyan to make preparations and get the visa done in advance, and then he would be appointed as an assistant director to take him to Italy.

This news made Yang Aiyan, who had just made some progress with the young lady, a little depressed, but he knew that this was the training of the company, and anyone else would be lucky, so he had no choice but to encourage himself to have a career so that he could pursue the young lady more smoothly.

Gan Jing didn't know what his subordinates were thinking. Recently, he has become more and more result-oriented, such as a resolution named Plan A discussed by the company's top management.

Hundred Days Red has formulated a five-year development plan, the purpose of which is to expand its influence to the Asian region and gain the ability to compete with Hollywood in this region.

This plan is an initial creation, and it must be constantly rested according to the actual situation.

Now, one of the policies discussed by various business departments is to use Chinese culture as the output point to create worldview works like Marvel and DC.

In this regard, Huaxia has an advantage. The myths and stories passed down from ancient times are basically under the same world view. Even if there are differences, it is easy to integrate.

Western superheroes also exist in China. The most famous one is Monkey King, Monkey King. In addition, there are Erlang God who split the mountain to save his mother, Dayu who cured the flood and saved the common people, etc.

However, one or two 120-minute movies are difficult to show the Chinese mythology. Therefore, one of the ideas discussed by Hundred Days Red executives is to use well-produced TV dramas to export to the outside world.

"TV drama?" Gan Jing was very surprised when he first heard about the so-called Project A. He has never acted in this drama since his debut, so he doesn't know anything about it.

"Yes, the Chinese mythology system is huge, and movies can only capture the tip of the iceberg. I think we can follow the example of American dramas to shoot, the first and second seasons, like this." Zhang Ziran from the production department spoke, He once had the experience of working for the American Television Network. After returning to China, he joined the Rays, and now he has been hired by Hundred Days Red.

"American TV series..." Gan Jing dug into his distant memory, er, he seems to have had the experience of being a guest star in the American TV series "The Big Bang Theory". From this point of view, it's not like he has never acted in a TV series.

Zhang Ziran has perfected his thinking through constant discussions and pointed out two key points: "First of all, such a production must be excellent in quality; jack."

"The world view of TV dramas is to make audiences in Asia at least familiar with it, so that they will not be confused when they watch the movie, and they can quickly substitute and appreciate it." Zhang Ziran continued.

Gan Jing nodded. This sounded like that. He thought for a while and asked, "How do you plan to make it? Cost? How many seasons?"

"[-] million per season." Liu Tao from the film and television department replied, he is the former vice president of Huayi who made Wang Zhonglei angry.

Gan Jing was taken aback: "So expensive?"

Liu Tao said seriously: "At least 1.1 million, this budget is difficult to save, like Hu Ge's "Langya Bang", the production cost of this TV series is about [-] million."

Gan Jing had never understood the market in this area before, and now it is an eye-opener. It is really not cheap.

"This year's price may go up even more. As far as I know, there are "A Thousand Bone Flower" and "Legend of Wu Mei Niang" that I am working on this year. I don't know the exact price, but it should be over [-] million yuan in production costs." Liu Tao continued to popularize Knowledge.

Gan Jing was shocked enough, he lowered his head and calculated, hey, it seems that he needs to sell 1% more shares of Uber to support Plan A, at least [-] million per season, that’s not a lot in total Four to five billion.

"By the way, how many seasons do you plan to do? When will it start?" Gan Jing raised his head with a calm expression.

Lao Chen replied: "Five seasons, using old drama bones and fine special effects. The first season "Saint Lich", the second season "Human God World", the third season "Feng Shen", the fourth season "Journey to the West" ", the fifth season "Last Dharma."

"Sounds like the taste of Chinese culture." Gan Jing thought for a while, and probably understood that dividing into five seasons corresponds to the company's five-year development plan. If one season is calculated on the basis of 1.3 million, then five seasons is 6.5 million, which is indeed one A huge sum of money.

"In fact, we don't need to bear the funds ourselves. Such a TV series must find a partner. Hu Ge's Tang Ren has very mature production experience and is a potential partner that can be considered." Lao Chen said.

"In principle, I have no objections." Gan Jing said slowly, "Since it is used to export the world view, there is no need to have too much pressure on the profit side."

Hearing what A-Gump said, the high-level executives present at Bairihong breathed a sigh of relief.

"We do things for a long time, and we may not be able to see anything from such a short-term view of the world." Gan Jing understands this very well, "Since we have done it, let's keep improving, but..."

"TV series pay attention to the ratings, let's not talk about profits, the ratings improvement from season to season shouldn't be too much to ask, right?" Gan Jing smiled, "Since you want to learn the model of American TV series, it's not satisfactory. Just cut it off, shouldn't you also learn it?"

Gan Jing's eyes were so piercing that no one would suspect that he had made the decision to give a knife.

The first season, the second season, once upon a time there was a eunuch,
